I saw one turtle up on the boardwalk and a few in the harbor itself and on the shore. They aren't swarming around the area, but there are a few, in my experience. If I had been hunting them, I would have had to fight the majority of them in the water unless I pulled them to land.
What is the spawn timer on these Turtles? I am sitting on the beach and havent seen one yet after like 45min. Do I have to go into the water to hunt these turtles?
